Members and supporters of the LGBT community participated in a “Pride March” rally in Bangalore, India on Sunday. Gay rights supporters waved flags and danced past traffic during the march to celebrate gay pride and to push for the repeal of a colonial-era law that makes homosexuality a crime.

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month is celebrated in June each year to honor the 1969 Stonewall riots in New York. Thousands have gathered at parades around the world to celebrate LGBT pride.

Each June, LGBT groups worldwide stage parades, festivals and marches to celebrate LGBT Pride month. As Baltimore’s own pride celebration approaches (June 15-16), here’s a look at pride celebrations being held around the globe including this weekend’s celebrations in Washington, D.C.
